Janet Howle is a writer with a voyager’s spirit. Her love of storytelling began when she was ten years old, writing a childhood tale about a girl who runs away to join the circus. Though that first story never quite found its ending, the desire to write stayed with her.

Janet graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in physical therapy and specialized in pediatrics. Later, she completed graduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and joined the faculty there. Throughout her clinical and academic career, she wrote extensively in nonfiction, including case studies and professional articles. However, not until she retired, did she return to writing fiction.

Her fiction is shaped by a life full of movement, family, and adventure. Janet and her husband, Ed, raised six children, lived in Paris, competed in vintage car endurance rallies, and spent years sailing the Bahamas and Caribbean. Their time aboard their Camper & Nicholson 40, including homeschooling their youngest sons while cruising. These experiences became the foundation for the world of Uncharted and Uncovered.

The Wind Chaser Suspense Series draws from Janet’s firsthand sailing experience, her love of the Bahamas, and her fascination with the way personal courage is tested when danger rises beneath the surface of paradise. She claims the people, places and adventures might appear as either truth or fiction on the pages she writes.
